Returning to Hebrews chapter 9, we see the centrality of the death of Christ in His Messianic mission. In fact, the author switches his emphasis from Covenant to Testament to show us that it is only through the death of Christ that we might receive the many promises of God that are made to us in Christ. Join us as we marvel at the love and grace of God seen in the mission of Christ.

As we enter into the 9th chapter of this great letter, the author wants us to consider the Tabernacle and its function. In one sense, we are to see its glory in that it is a shadow pointing to something better- in another sense, we are to recognize its limitations as a temporal system which was unable to make anything perfect. In both senses, we are to be led to see the need for Christ as the High Priest of a perfect covenant, sealed by a perfect sacrifice.

As we finish looking at Hebrews 8, we want to take one final Lord's Day to see how this chapter played a significant role in traditional Baptist covenant theology. By looking particularly at the phrasing of the establishment of the new Covenant, we see why our Baptist forebears saw this as the establishment of a Covenant with better promises, and a different substance.

We return to Hebrews chapter 8 after an extended break. In this sermon, we will recap the major points of the arguments of the 7th and 8th chapter in order to resume our journey. We will see that we have a perfect Priest from a perfect priesthood, offering a perfect sacrifice, in a perfect sanctuary, securing a greater covenant, offering greater promises.
